EENG 5242 - Power Systems Protection with Lab (4 Credit Hours)

This course reviews the need for the protection of power systems and discusses the measurement methods used in protection for reading and digitizing the electrical parameters by a comprehensive study of faults (e.g., short circuits) and their negative consequences on electric grids with reference to industrial standards. Protective devices (relays) used in power systems for clearing the faults and the use of new technologies, such as inverters and distributed energy sources (DER’s), the protection issues are investigated.
